Yes. One minute for the optimize part, 2 minutes for all the rest. Fast enough.

3 minutes for 109.000 files seems ok to me.

5 minutes is OK for 160K files I think.

Very nice indeed!  Thank you for posting this.

Your document mentions that you usually must correct the Date in .MOV files from iPhones.  I had the same experience, but (maybe three years or so ago) found that the correct date was present in this tag:

Code Select Expand

QuickTime::UserData\date\DateTimeOriginal\0
...corresponding to this tag in the ECP:
...

I'm sure I went down that path at some point. Thanks for the suggestion. Things may have changed. For now, at least I know what I have is working. It's not perfect, but as Mario points out, Apple argh!

The issue is even if the correct date and time is there, it's not in the standard fields that EVERYONE else uses. So it's either add TZ offset, or copy. I'll check it out next time I'm working on photos.

Firstly, sorry for the delayed response. I had forgot to request notification of responses

'Pets' caught my attention as that is a current area of reconsideration for me - I am not happy with my initial decision to use keywords.    Am I understanding correctly - you are using the iMatch 'People' function for pets?

Yes. Pets are people. It's a bit messy because face recognition doesn't work, but it does give me the advantage of attaching dates of birth/death and keywords to them.

So Georgie, is also keyworded "nature|animal|mammal|domestic dog". She is gender female, in our family, the Pets group (for People) and the Pets|Dogs category. That saves a lot of manual entry.

I've updated the original post with better examples.

Having date of birth is a really nice benefit. Especially photos of her cuddling with our girls.

Glad you enjoyed Kangaroo Island.

The database optimization takes some time, but is very helpful with keeping things smooth.
I've figured that doing that every ~ two weeks (standard diagnosis interval) is worth it.

With ctrl held down at start, nothing done since last diagnosis, 9 min 41 seconds - a bit of a difference!  My computer is a desktop i9-7900X 3.3GHz with 48GB RAM and an NVidia GTX 1060 6GB running Windows 10 Home.

Yes, the optimization takes a long time. Without it my diagnosis runs for the 360'000 files in 5.15 min.
And the optimization takes around 35 minutes.

Mario, this holding the Ctrl while starting the diagnosis works fine, is it an idea to add there a button to click, that is goes not forgotten? Only an idea, really.

I guess 30 minutes or more is the database optimization step.
How long does the diagnosis run when you hold down CTRL while starting it (while clicking on Run)?

For 800,000 files, IMatch 2025 will maybe squeeze out an extra minute or two.
